Hand's Inn duo released
NORWICH – After 10 days in jail, the former operators of Hand’s Inn restaurant were released so they can make restitution payments.
Kevin Aguilar and Jean Rabbitt were remanded without bail by County Judge W. Howard Sullivan on June 16 after they failed to explain missed restitution payments that the judge ordered late last year as part of their sentence. The couple was to make $500-a-month installments to different victims in a 2003 credit card scheme they operated from their city limits restaurant. The couple appeared in court June 26 with attorney Maureen Byrne, who argued that her clients did not make the payments due to a lack of clarity in their order to make them.
“It appears they have made their payments according to schedule,” she said.
Assistant District Attorney Stephen Dunshee said the order was clear, and that Byrne’s clients could either go to jail or be released to make the payments as ordered.
A new document specifying who was to be paid by the couple and when the money was due was signed. Aguilar and Rabbitt both said they understood the new order and would make payments accordingly.
The pair’s violation of probation charge claimed they failed to make a $500 payment to a victim for several months. Aguilar and Rabbitt provided documentation in court earlier in the month that they paid the individual $100 on two occasions, but failed to show anything that showed they met what their restitution order required. Sullivan told the former restaurateurs then that their deal had no leeway for interpretation.
“At the time we did this, we had a conversation that this was going to be strictly enforced,” he said.
